Volition is on a mission to build the future of manufacturing and a strong culture of continual growth.
Where We Came From: Volition was started by a group of friends who previously worked together building startups in the manufacturing space for over a decade. We learned first hand how difficult it is to build hardware and run production operations - both at our company and for our customers. Staying committed to our mission and each other has given us the strength to push through every challenge we’ve encountered.
Work Culture: We are a remote-first company because we believe the best people are all over the world and tapping into the right people for the right job will be core to our success. We believe that remote work, properly designed, can be more productive than an on-site office with its long commute times, endless distractions, and low flexibility for what life throws at you.
This is why we designed our culture and organizational systems to minimize time sinks like standing meetings (just one a week) and enable asynchronous work whenever possible so you can maximize your time in the zone and give you flexibility for the rest of your life. We do have in-person all team off-sites twice a year where we fly everyone to the same location for work and fun - so far in the SF Bay Area.
Our Management Philosophy: We work together as a team to set clear, realistic, and measurable goals, and then empower those closest to the action with the freedom and resources to figure out how best to hit them. We keep our full-time core team quite senior and give everyone a lot of responsibility and space to voice their ideas and concerns. We also value transparency in our plans, documents, and communications in general.
Our remote-first orientation also allows us to quickly bring in freelancers, agencies, etc. to magnify the impact of our core team, and we have many ongoing relationships that our team makes ample use of.
Personal Development: We believe in giving people the opportunity to learn from challenging projects, including ones outside of their comfort zone where they’d like to grow. We give them support and structure, but also the space to be creative and make mistakes - such is how learning happens. We also have a broad network of experts and advisors we bring in often to discuss everything from broad strategic questions to the fine details of a given plan.
Values:
• Mission First: We focus every goal, plan, and action on achieving our mission.
• Leverage: We develop our team, tools, and systems to magnify our impact.
• Growth Mindset: We work to develop our whole selves: mind, body, and spirit.
• Autonomy: We give everyone freedom and resources, and expect great things.
• Tenacity: We pursue our work with a focus on steady, strong daily execution.
• Solidarity: We treat our team, customers, vendors, and community as our allies.
Benefits:
• Significant stock options
• Healthcare (PPO/HMO options), dental, vision
• 401(k) Plan
• Home office equipment stipend
• Fully remote-first work environment
• Flexible work hours
• Unlimited time off
• Two team retreats a year (generally in the San Francisco Bay Area)
